3rd High-level Seminar of Central Banks in the East Asia-Pacific Regions and the Euro Area

Release date

21 November 2006

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand and
the European Central Bank (ECB) jointly organised the 3rd High-Level Seminar of
Central Banks in the East Asia-Pacific Region and the Euro Area. The seminar
was held at the Reserve Bank of Australia, in Sydney, Australia, on 20 and 21
November.

The Seminar was attended by governors from both the East
Asia-Pacific Central Banks (EMEAP) and the Eurosystem.

The purpose of the seminar was to exchange views on issues
that are relevant to both the Euro Area and the East Asia-Pacific regions, and
to deepen relations between EMEAP and the Eurosystem.

The Governors discussed issues confronting policy-makers in
both regions today: the link between the integration of emerging economies in
the world economy and global inflation; global imbalances and their implications
for financial stability; and regional financial integration, with focus on the
ongoing processes of financial integration in the Asia-Pacific region and
Europe.
